Are scholarships and financial aid available to online students?

It’s understandable that you may need some help paying for your education.
It’s a big investment in your future! More specifically, you may wonder if
online schools offer financial aid or scholarships. Fortunately, students
at
Argosy University, Online Programs
have access to much of the same
financial aid, scholarships, and grant opportunities as students attending a brick and mortar
school.* Financial aid is available for those who qualify.

The FAFSA is not difficult to complete, provided you have all of the
required documentation. One will first need to determine if they are a dependent or independent
student. Your dependency status determines whose information
you must report on the FAFSA. If you’re a dependent student,
you will report your and your parents’ information. If you’re an independent student, you will report your own information
(and, if you’re married, your spouse’s). You can get help determining that
here

.

Students will need to create a FAFSA ID before starting the form. You’ll
need your social security number, your parents’ social security numbers,
your driver’s license number, tax returns, and information on savings and
checking accounts. There’s even a convenient tool that links the to the
Internal Revenue Service’s website, which can fill in some of the required
FAFSA information.

The FAFSA submission will also determine your eligibility for
Pell grants, federal grants that are generally awarded to undergraduate students who
have not yet earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. Some individuals
are not eligible to receive these grants—so be sure that you qualify.
Federal Grants do not have to be repaid by eligible students who remain in
school. Students might have to pay back all or part of a Federal Grant if
he/ she withdraws from school before finishing an enrollment period (for
example, a semester or class session).

In addition to any assistance that the FAFSA identifies, Argosy University
accepts employer tuition assistance and military tuition assistance.

Argosy University also offers scholarship and grant opportunities, which
vary by program and location. This assistance is available to qualified
prospective and current students—and sometimes to school alums. These
scholarships and grants may also be restricted to online students. There
may be other requirements and all are subject to change at any time.
